A/N: Inspired by Ed Sheeran's First Times. You have to listen to it, to feel this fic of mine.

This is more like a Valentine's Day fic. But I just want to say, Happy Birthday to the coolest Sendoh Akira! I hope there's a continuation in the manga where you are named the MVP, even in just one panel. Fingers cross.

Summary: Every first times are significant for a relationship to last. (Sendoh's POV)

Disclaimer: I do not own SD but I want to own Rukawa Kaede, can I do that? LOL

First time I set my eyes on you...

I was walking down the pavement with my duffel bag hanging by my shoulder, hoping to find the next open court.

Nearing one, I can hear the sound of the rim being shaken by seemingly remarkable shots.

'Occupied.' I say, and thought of looking for another.

But my feet moved on their own, leading me to the unavailable court.

And then I saw you, familiar one, performing all your praiseworthy stunts.

I stayed. I halt. Inserting my fingers through the diamond wire.

I've seen them before. I've battled with them before.

But the more I watch you, the more I am thrilled to join you...

First bet...

I called your attention, "Oi!" I yelled. You turned, with that same emotion while holding the ball.

I asked for a game. A moment I wait until you passed the ball.

And so it began.

I say, it's a game different from others. It was thrilling, elating, tiring but satisfying.

We stopped by sunset. I lead by two, claiming "I won the bet!"

You narrowed your eyes, obviously surprised, knowing no such deal was agreed upon. But I don't want to eat alone... so I ask, "Ramen?"

First treat...

Thought you'll walk out on me, but you didn't. You never said yes, instead, you asked "Where?"

I was surprised, but more of... I am glad.

So we went our way, my lead, taking you to the best Ramen house.

I somehow feel uneasy, coz we barely speak! Don't know if you're bored or regretting this, but the fact that you're still following me, I guess we're doing okay.

You ordered for a mild spicy Ramen, while mine is the spiciest. I saw you took out your wallet, but I boasted "On me." You eyed me once and say "I lost.", insisting you'll pay.

A smirk I let out, telling myself that Rukawa Kaede is an honorable guy.

First dinner together...

Our steaming hot noodles came. The aroma hits me, flowing through my mad tummy.

I dipped my chopsticks, but you got me distracted. You seasoned your bowl to your liking as if you have your own recipe.

A chuckle I let out, finding your actions weird but amusing. You noticed and asked me why, but I shook my head, refusing to tell you why.

I opened a topic we can both relate. You responded with few words, but no matter, as long as we communicate.

You sipped your noodles, making slurping sounds. You failed to notice the two sesame seeds stuck at the corner of your mouth.

I laughed. I can't help it.

You probed again, "Why are you laughing?"

I told you the reason, and you wiped them in quick motion.

I chuckled for the second time, finding how cute your reaction was.

First ours...

Since then, our friendly match became frequent.

I found you, we play. You saw me playing, you join. It became a norm.

So I propose, 'Let's make it regular'. You agreed, and we both decided... Friday is our day!

None was missed since then.

If it rains, we still meet. We don't play but watch the rain falls while buying our time with little talks.

Then it came to me, Friday is now a favorite.

First exchange of message...

I asked for your number, "For better communication," I said. You agreed. I gave mine. You gave yours.

The same night, I bored myself in my room. Don't know what to do so I ended up scrolling on my phone.

I saw you hearted a photo of a cat. I heart it too and captured a screenshot. I send it to you and asked, "Is this you?", throwing a tease I didn't plan.

It took some time before you reply. Thought I am ignored but I don't really mind.

An image of a smiling dog is the picture you sent. Under is a caption of "This is you.", a mockery I didn't expect.

I laughed, almost knocking myself out.

With that, I say,… Rukawa Kaede, it must be fun to be your pal.

First butterfly...

We meet again.

Under the shade of the sun in an open court, playing without counting scores. I took a dunk, awing your mouth in a period of time. But I landed on a rock. I tripped and stumbled to the ground, falling on my side.

You rushed to my aide, lifting my full weight around your neck. You carried me to the nearest bench, assisting me in taking the space.

I winced, but I know I'll be fine in a matter of days.

I suddenly noticed the difference in your gaze. Was it concern or delusion from the pain? I am wondering, asking you in silence, 'Is Rukawa Kaede… worried for my sake?'

I watched you gently remove my dark shoe, checking the reddened area of my foot. You reached for something inside your bag, a medicine kit is what you brought out. Soothingly cool is what you applied, before binding my foot with an elastic wrap.

I am in complete awe. I don't know what to say. I was too stunned to ask you nor say my thanks.

You looked up to me, showing me the worry behind your stares. "It should be fine... for now," you blankly say.

I felt a tingling sensation under my stomach. Or inside my belly, I don't know! I looked away, for I can feel the burn in my ears, slowly spreading to my face. "Tha...thank you." was all I can say, in an odd stuttering way I can't tell.

I know this feeling.

The kind of warmth I felt on my first girl.

The start of something new, something beyond friendship.

And it's not good...

But it feels damn true...

First time I see you...

For days you tend me, visiting my place almost every day. Bringing me take-outs, checking my bandage and sometimes just to replace it. And once your purpose is done, you'll take your leave right away.

I'm confused. I knew you even before I knew you.

You don't seem to be the type of guy who gives importance nor care to anyone but yourself.

But you surprised me. This sudden care towards me. Even my colleagues are wondering when I told them this story.

Nevertheless... I can't complain.

Rather... I am moved by you. Buoyant because of you.

I am happy seeing your presence here. I am even wishing for my injury to never heal.

I see you. I see the real you.

Later, I realized, I am seeing my tomorrows, with pictures of me and you.

First celebration together…

To celebrate the discharge from my home care, I invited you for a one-on-one game, the only excuse I have for an obvious intention I can't directly say.

You refused me, with no reason given. I know you love every chance of a match, yet you decline my invitation.

I must say, I have a feeling why... it must be my injury you worry about.

It warmth me, just by the thought of it... but the urge to see you won over me.

So instead, I invited you for a drink. "My place," I say. "To express my gratitude." I followed.

Heaven's blessing, you agreed! Adding the condition, you'll buy everything so I won't leave my unit.

I am ecstatic. So looking forward to it. I even cleaned my room meticulously. HAHA.

Now, the waiting. Ugh! The waiting is tormenting.

Time passes on its slowest. I check my wall clock, my phone's clock and even my wristwatch. But none of them lessens the time you'll show up!

I can't wait to see you. I badly want to see you.

Then... Finally! The night came.

You appeared behind my door, with some snacks in your hold.

First thing I did, is scanned you from head to toe. You're wearing a maroon-colored baggy shirt, with a chibi Iron Man in front, paired with black cargo shorts.

Seriously? A homey outfit?

Do you even know how cute you are right now?!

I spun myself around, hiding my chuckles, before you send me your scowl.

First drink we share...

We settled at the floor and started our session, taking shots in every turn.

I love it when your face squeezed every time you take a drink. It's cute and funny, and I am charmed by it. Well, it's not surprising. Not everybody likes the bitterness of any brandy.

A few more drinks you began talking. Seems the brandy is the main potion for you to speak.

You chat about everything you set your eyes unto. You even have a story about the lizard crawling on the ceiling of my room.

And here I am, deciding to rest my elbow at the cushion, slowly bending my head, placing it above my closed knuckle.

And then I found myself... watching you... scanning you, studying your every move.

How your lips thinly part as you speak. Your eyelashes flaunting in slow motion when you blink. Cheeks tinted in pink by the brandy you take. Voice sounding deep but calming my head.

And I can't look away.

It's more like, I am waiting...

Waiting for more unexpected 'you'.

First kiss...

You silenced yourself, all of a sudden. The time I realized our lips are only inches away.

I didn't move back. You didn't move away.

Your drunken gaze on mine. My still orbs on yours. And we stayed that way, for how long I don't know... until you utter a soft whisper of "You're too close..."

I heard, even with your lowest tone. Still, I moved a little more. You didn't flinch nor pushed me off.

My stares landed on your inviting lips, slowly moving back to your droopy squints.

For the second time, you whispered the obvious "You're getting closer..."

I know. I am aware.

So I moved a little more, a breath away from your lips. You kept still, as if waiting something from me... so I inquired, "Should I stop?"

The next thing I know, you captured my lips. I deepened our kiss. My mind stopped thinking. My heart is crazily pounding.

I am breathless. I am lost. I let my lips take control.

It's the longest I had. The sweetest I ever had.

I forced you on my lap, with our lips still locked. You straddled on top of me, kissing like tomorrow is never coming.

Tasting your alcohol-flavored lips. Running my fingers on your hips.

I'm all into you. Devouring more of you.

Until, all suddenly, my foot felt a pang. I broke the kiss and hissed a cry.

First cuddle...

You moved yourself away, stumbling on my right. I rested my head back on the couch and blew upward, allowing the pain to subside.

It took a minute when I gained myself back. I turned to you, and saw you in aghast.

I remembered now, we are kissing before my foot interrupts!

I laughed. Unsure why, but I broke a disturbing laugh. I hear you mutter, "Doaho." and my laugh grew louder.

As I calmed, I turned to you, with the heartfelt smile I can ever express. I extended my open palm and says, "Come here."

You didn't hesitate and gave me yours. I pulled you gently, letting you sit beside me on the floor.

I wrapped my arms around you, and rested my head on your shoulder. I closed my eyes and uttered a whisper, "Goodnight, Rukawa." followed by a smile coming from my core.

Half asleep as I am, but my heart is wide awake to admit this burning feeling inside my chest...

Rukawa Kaede,... I think I like you.

First confession...

The next day I woke up, without you in my arms. My bandage was replaced and I'm sure, it's completely fine.

I sat up and joined the heat of the sun. Determined to confess this feeling, knocking its cage down.

I send you a message, asking to meet me at some place—near a cliff with the night view of the entire state.

I saw your figure once I arrived. You're settled on a wooden chair, watching the city brimming with different lights.

My heart is pounding as I approached. I stopped by the end of the bench, mustering courage before my confession.

You felt my presence, so you turned.

I flinched. I swallowed. I shivered. My heart almost bursts.

You stood and say, "I can't stay long, dinner with parents."

So I parted my lips, deciding not to blow up this moment. I put all my strengths on my feet, to close the gap between you and me. My shaking hands took yours, forcing you to face me.

My sincere stares on you, locking them with your glistening orbs.

So I parted my lips, held up my breath, and finally say what my heart is yearning to say, "I like you Rukawa. Please go out with me." is what I've declared.

There! I said it!

I finally said it!

I never experienced a confession. It was more of being confessed unto.

Now I know how it feels… But the anticipation is killing me!

Can I hear your response? Will you accept it? Or walk away from it?

Fear engulfs me upon seeing a twitch on your eye. Your brows merged in the middle, like you're confused or something alike.

Wait a minute. Is this what it is? Are these signs of rejection?

I saw you part your lips, about to say something, but your phone buzzes. Looks important seeing you're in a hurry to read it.

I stood there, watching you tap on your phone. While I am here, quietly waiting for your decision.

Then you looked up, I stiffened. I swallowed before giving you my full attention.

But my heart shatters the moment you speak, "I need to go. I'll see you tomorrow." and I stood still, in that very same place you left me...

First heartbreak...

It was devastating... humiliating. My world collapse in a split second.

Is this how it feels to be rejected?

I want to call you. I want to ask you why... but I fear for your reason. I chickened. I couldn't think right.

I sleep in anguish. And woke up seeing no difference.

I don't want to get up. I want to stay here, lifeless in my crib.

My phone rings endless. Probably my co-players asking where I am. But I am not in the mood to talk to anyone. I ignored it, allowing it to ring until it drains out.

I feel helpless... scared to never see you again. Fear to never hear your voice again.

Is this the end of us?

I ponder more of my sudden fate until my doorbell suddenly rang. Ugh! These people can't even give me my own time!

It rang again, the time to get up.

Against my will, I opened the door. But I stiffened upon doing so.

You are there, standing with your blazing stares. "I keep calling. I've been waiting for an hour!" you said.

I'm confused. "What are you saying?"

Then you revealed that you are waiting for me at some cafe.

I dared asked, "Why? You rejected me remember?"

I saw you furrowed. You are confused, I can tell. So I explained further, "You walked out on my confession yesterday!"

Minutes passed, as if you're thinking. I didn't hear a word... so I say, "Go home Rukawa. Leave me be."

I turned and about to close the door, until you abruptly utter numerous words. "I tend your foot. I cooked for you. I brought you food. I even kissed you. Want more do you want me to do?"

I froze, gathering what I just heard.

Did I understand it well? Are you saying you already thought we're dating even before I confessed?

Hold on... Are those your own ways of courting me?

I laughed. Disturbing my unit with a very loud laugh. Not making fun of you, but more of myself. I am worrying over nothing. I sulk with pointless thinking.

You liked me.

You already liked me even before I admit it to myself.

Perhaps I confused you yesterday when I asked, 'Please go out with me.' It must be the reason why you can't answer me properly.

Wasting no more of our time, I pulled you in and kissed you hard. Letting you feel my elated heart, through the works of my mouth.

You kissed me back. I kissed you more. You don't know how happy I am, my heart is about to explode.

I moved back from our kiss, to put a label about this thing between you and me, "Are we dating now... Kaede?" your name I utter intentionally.

I see how saying your name blushes your cheeks. Then you sterned at me. Your serious gaze over me, returning my question with, "Aren't we?"

I chuckled, before I indulge more of your luscious lips.

First sleepless night...

I couldn't sleep. My heart is at its bliss.

My mind is filled with you. Only and only you.

Everywhere I look, I see you. Everything I set my eyes unto; it reminds me of you.

Damn. I'm so in cloud nine!

So I took my phone and messaged you, "Still awake?" I asked you.

My hopes are low, coz I know you are a heavy sleeper. But when I heard a ring, my heart jumps a loud beat. I looked it up and reads "Yes.", your only response to me.

I send you another, following a tease. "Can't sleep? Thinking about me?"

To my surprise, you honestly gave me an "Aye."

My lips stretch to a full grin. You're also in a bliss, the same how I feel!

I can't hold back this giddy feeling and my lips can't stop grinning.

Damn! Why am I like this? What have you done to me?

First love...

I had two relationships before you. I felt something for them; That, I am sure.

But they are far from this. They can't be compared to this.

This is different.

So new and so deep. A whole new addiction to me.

Alive when I see you. Living when I hold you.

This is true and overly enchanting.

I am in love.

And I am certain of this.

I'm in love with you, my dear Ice Prince.

First date...

We had meals together, dining-in wherever.

But this time, I want it to be special. It's our first date as a couple. And it has to be memorable.

I asked you to meet me halfway at some cafe, an affordable place for a mere student.

You are there first, wearing another cute homey outfit of yours. And I am here, overly dressed, telling the world how well prepared I am for this day.

I suddenly felt a little nervous. Should I call you something else or just your name?

"What are you doing there?" I heard you asked, seeing a great distance. I just sent you a grin, thus, we went inside.

You ordered pasta, I ordered burger for me. Suddenly, you canceled yours, asking to double up my chosen meal.

I outed a smile when you left to find our seats.

And here I am, paying in full grin, confusing the cashier in front of me.

Sheesh! Stop being so cute please!

First picture together...

I found you at the most corner. I sat on your right and handed your meal.

I inquired after your first bite, "Was it good?" You answered with a nod.

We had more chats while we indulge our food. I mostly talk while you respond with your selective words.

An idea popped in my head when I glanced at my phone—I need your face as my new wallpaper.

I'm afraid to ask for you might hate the idea. Still, I inquired, "Can I have a photo of you and I?"

You eyed me once, making me gulp. Thought you'll snap but I was surprised when your head bends closer to mine.

I was stunned. Completely and utterly stunned. Is this really Rukawa Kaede? The stoic man I love?

You noticed I didn't move, you dubiously looked at me, asking "Is this how it's done? Or not?"

Before you changed your mind, I arched an arm around your neck. Pull our heads together and captured the shot I requested.

Taking advantage of the fewer people and while we're seated at the safest spot of this place, I stole a peck on your cheek and sounded another click.

I felt you stiffened, but I hear no complains. You shifted away, but your reddened nape can't be hidden.

I poked your side playfully, and saw how you flinched. You turned your glares on me as I mouthed "I love you.", startling you a bit.

I see you roll your eyes, sounding a clack of your tongue. Annoyed you must be, but your bright reddened ears tell differently.

First movie date...

The following week, I invited you for a movie. I bought the tickets before you made it here. You offered popcorn and drinks as snacks. You bought it yourself before we went inside.

The cinema is fully packed! No doubt, 'No Way Home' is a must.

Upcoming movie teasers are being played. The movie hasn't started, yet your popcorn is already in half.

I chuckled, disturbing your moments of munching. You gave me a bad look. I compensate by feeding you a handful.

The movie has begun. The lights are dimmed, while everyone maintains the peace.

I am all focused, until I hear a snore. I turned to you and saw your head swaying to and from.

Instead of feeling disappointed, I can't help but just laugh on it. It seems you are not fond of movies, and now I'm aware of it.

I reached for your swinging head and kept it still on my shoulder's end. I watched you for a moment, rubbing my thumb on your soft flesh.

I smiled and plant kisses on your soft strands, before turning back to the young Spiderman.

First gift...

I feel your regrets when we are out the theatre. You are asleep the entire movie and was sorry for the time you've squandered.

I said it's okay, yet you stayed quiet and pouted like a kid in distress. We went along and you're still left in deep regret. I tried to swoon you, but your spirit remained sunken.

Then a buddy I saw, not far from us. I waved and he approached us. "Kosh, what are you doing here?" I asked. He said, "Date with my girl. How about you?"

"Yeah. Date with my..." But as I turned, my date is nowhere to be found. I scratched my head while I scanned from left to right.

Koshino guessed it well, "Date with Rukawa?" he asked. And yes, he knows about us.

"Yeah." I prolonged the word while my orbs keep searching for your figure.

After some more talks, my friend bid his goodbye to go back to his girl. I was left alone still bothered by my missing lover.

So I fished out my phone and took an attempt to call you. I halted my intention when an elegant bag was compelled not too far from my nose.

"For you." I hear you say.

I furrowed "For me?", while pointing at my chest.

You nodded and demanded, "Wear it."

Hold on. Hold on. Is this a gift for me?

Impatient, you moved the bag further to me, "Wear it now!"

I took the bag and inside is a black hoodie I found. "What is this for?" I asked, but you said nothing and waited for me to comply.

And so I did, and realized what you mean. It's a gift of apology, seeing the Spiderman logo in front of the hoodie.

I smiled, and my heart is pacified.

So I wear it, before you add a snap. "Do I look handsome?" A tease, followed by a wink of my left eye. You narrowed and turned around, "Idiot." your word before you moved forward.

First time I sulk...

I am thrilled, proud of my new look. A burgundy-colored highlights for my hair of trolls.

I am excited for you to see. To be amazed how handsome I came to be.

Then we met.

I saw your right eye twitched, but you never said a word. No compliment. Not even a jeer.

I pouted. I sulk all day, refusing to talk.

You were troubled by my persisting silence and did a lot to get my attention. My favorite is when your fingers keep tapping my arm. Your annoyance was felt when the tapping went hard.

Still, I didn't back down and refused to give you an eye.

I'm a sulking boyfriend and that is who I am right now!

Your temper was hit, so you asked in anger and gave me no option but to blurt it out.

It's a childish thinking, I know. But you didn't mock me when I revealed it later on. Instead, you say, "You're always handsome, even bald. Why do I have to say it?"

I gaped.

I blushed.

I faint.

I die.

Angel, save me from my burning heart!

Gah. I'm madly in love!

First time you sulk...

Aa. Quick one.

I overslept at my school's gym, while waiting for the time of our Friday routine. My team played a prank on me. They didn't wake me when they all flee.

I woke up and met the darkest of our gym. I panicked and hurried, praying you'll forgive me.

I arrived at our usual place and found you sleeping there at the wooden chair.

I felt a sudden guilt, you waited long enough for me but didn't bother to leave.

I wake you up, hoping you won't snap.

You opened your eyes, staring at me for a while... before turning your head abruptly to the side. "Hn!" you hummed, shutting your eyes back.

Ack! You're mad!

I fall onto my knees and cry "Sorry! I'm sorry!", adding some of my cute and adorable stunts.

"No!" you lowly barked and flipped your body to the side.

I continued begging, but you keep refusing.

I added romantic words that can make you cringe, and even famous movie lines just for you to forgive me.

And after series of pleading and begging, you finally glanced at me. Your only request is dinner for free.

Later you revealed, you are not sulking because of the game I missed. But more like you are worried for my sake because you can't contact me.

And you know what?

My heart is full before my stomach is filled!

First time I got jealous...

We're on our Friday game when Mitsui and Sakuragi showed up. As a sociable man, I invited them for a two-on-two match.

I felt a sharp pain when Mitsui arched an arm around your neck, announcing both of you as the other pair and my opponent. My heart shatters more when you didn't decline of what he proclaimed.

The game started and my focus is out of reach. I can't believe I feel threatened by the MVP.

Your hands clapped every time a shot was won. Your team-up earns more commendable banks.

I see you, you are obviously enjoying the dynamic. And I am here, occupied by my shallow thinking.

After the game, we part with them, finally! But my perturbed feeling you didn't miss to notice.

I let my pride down and tell you why. And all I see are your twitching upper lip and left eye.

I know its childish but that's how I feel. He's an MVP, thus, more challenging than me.

You felt annoyed and about to walk out. I pulled you in a tight embrace, and I apologized.

Despite vexed, you console me with your words, "He might be the MVP, but he has absent teeth."

I laughed at the mockery, that I know you didn't mean. You only said it to assure and console me.

And that alone, warmth the whole me.

First time you got jealous...

No. You didn't.

Let's forget this!

Thank you, next!

T_T

First trip together...

For days, I've been planning for our first out of town trip. I searched for the best and found one around northeast.

It's a hot spring in the middle of a forest. But don't worry. It's safe and has its own trail based on the reviews I've read.

I told you my intention before I book it. I am overjoyed when you didn't hesitate to approve it. I marked my calendar with a big red X and waited patiently for that special day to come... until it finally came!

I stood near a vending machine, waiting for you to appear. And I was more shocked to see, the overloaded bag you bring.

You reasoned, "I brought a ball just in case".

I laughed, amused by your extreme enthusiasm.

But sorry to disappoint you honey, there's no court around the premise. Of course, I checked, knowing you and I are both obsess by it.

Our train arrives, we hopped in with some snacks. We found our numbers and sat side by side.

I noticed you bring out two neck pillows and a big blanket from the bag. I asked, "It's only a two-hour ride, Kaede. You don't have to bring this much."

And then you turned to me, with a surprised look before you speak. "I thought you said it's a one-two hour ride. Twelve hours!" I chortled, so that's why you packed so much!

Then I noticed you are about to put the blanket back, but I held on to it and wrapped it around us.

You furrowed, asking me by your brows. So I answered you, by locking our hands under this thick wrap.

Now you understand what I'm trying to imply.

First fight...

We arrived at the station and began our search.

Under the heat of the sun, we marched... until I realized a fault.

We are lost!

We are lost in the middle of the woods!

You started complaining, murmuring I should've planned it carefully.

I am hurt, but I understand your sudden anger. I am to blame and the hot weather is not helping me either!

There's no reception, I cannot use my phone, so we walked further without knowing our actual destination.

It hits your temper and starting to ignore me. I felt a rush of anger and shouted, "I'm trying my best here!"

You're wide-eyed after I snapped, but you quickly changed to your glares before walking out.

I sighed, realizing it's not my right!

I ran a palm over my face before I followed you while you walk in haste. "Kaede, please!" I called but you didn't look my way.

Suddenly you halt, with your head facing to your right. I followed your stares and finally caught a glimpse of the target site.

We went inside without a word to each other. I know you're still mad and forcing a chat will not make it better.

The room is relaxing, but the atmosphere is too heavy. I quickly changed to my Yukata and soak myself alone in the hot spring.

After allowing a reasonable time to pass, I went back and found you sleeping in your Yukata. You're lying on your side, with your back on my sight. You didn't give me a glance, so perhaps, you are still mad.

I carefully laid on the futon, keeping my silence right behind you. I stared at the dark ceiling, pondering what's best to approach you.

This is not right. Sleeping on a fight is not right!

I was about to end this torment, with the only word that can. But you surprised me when you call my name, "Akira..." and followed it with the hardest word, "Sorry..."

For a moment, I am lost for words. I didn't expect, you'll break your great wall and swallow your ego.

I melted. My heart softens over that single word.

So I reached and closed the gap, hugging you from your back. I buried my face on your nape, "I'm sorry." I said and repeated with your name, "I'm sorry, Kaede."

I felt you took my hand and hugged it further to your chest. You regret what happened and I know you are sincere about it.

First night...

I pulled your shoulder and gently laid you on your back. I looked straight into your eyes and saw the regret you wish to verbalize.

I know.

No need to say it.

We are both sorry, and we deeply regret it.

I am hesitant for a bit, but I want to kiss you right at this minute. Slowly, I lowered my head and collided our lips for a soft kiss.

It started sweet and gentle, until my urge increased it little by little. My kiss turned rough, hard and deep. I fear you'll pushed me, but rather, you held my head and pressed me more to your lips.

My hands started exploring from your neck down to your hips. It cost me to hate the hindrance you are wearing.

My fingers travelled at the insides of your Yukata, letting your chest feel the warmth of my gentle nudges.

You sample a moan, and now I'm craving to hear more.

I pressed my throbbing hips down, while you arched yours upward. I removed the soft locks of your Yukata, and you did the honor to undo mine.

We're partly exposed. I moved back and ran my eyes to scan you first. Allow me to see this masterpiece underneath me, willing to give his everything only to me.

Our bodies collide once again, feeling the heat of each other's bareness. My lips trailed kisses on your neck... down to your exposed chest, and more on your lowest.

No skin left unmarked. No flesh left untouched.

You cried a moan when we became one. A groan escaped me when the full me was wrapped by your hot insides.

It's a mixed feeling of pleasure and pain. But there was no doubt, this night is the most magical that ever came.

Your moans increased as I quickened the pace. Uncertain if you feel good, so I stopped the rhythm, "Are you okay? Do you want me to stop?"

Your desirable eyes soulfully open, but switched immediately to your famous cold glares, "Don't you dare stop now!" you threatened.

I chuckled.

You pulled my ear after sensing my concern is actually a tease. I made a playful revenge by thrusting more of my hips. You whimpered under me and cursed me between your teeth.

I steadied the pace, while your legs are still wrapped around my waist.

I sounded more whimpers when I felt you swallowing me whole, as if you couldn't let me go.

I kissed your ear. I kissed your cheek. Your shoulder, I gently bit. Our deep moans increased as I strengthen the speed.

By your digging nails, my groans and pace, we are nearing the peak of our joined heat.

I gave one final thrust and we both released the cries of our first glorious night...

First morning...

I opened my eyes when I felt the warmth of the sun. And there I was welcomed, by the beauty that I love.

I smiled and dazed while you sleep. "I love you," I whispered, even if you're unable to hear.

But you suddenly moved and closed the gap. You lifted an arm and initiated a hug. You must be warmth by the three-words I let out. You're just being lazy to return my confession back.

I noticed you whispered but I didn't quite hear. "Pardon?" I asked, for you to repeat. In your weak tone, you utter a complain, "I can't... feel... my back... doaho..." is what you're meaning to say.

My loudest laugh escapes me, starting my morning in full glee.

I returned your hug and held you tight. How about another hour of doing nothing but just lock you in my arms?

Time flies. Seasons passed.

We're now adults sharing our first flat. Our love nest to build dreams for the benefit of us. For better or worse, we faced our first times without letting go each other's hands.

Our ride was never that easy. We have our starts and stops. Our ups and downs. But our love is strong enough, and it kept us alive for the years that have passed.

It's Valentine's Day—the day when the world is full of love.

I walked into our bedroom and found you sleeping on your stomach, covered by a thick blanket but only on your lower part. Your naked back lightened by the sun, flaunting the bite marks I planted from our lovely yester-night.

I sat at the edge of the bed and leaned down for a soft whisper in your ear, "Wake up Kaede. It's my birthday today..." I said.

In your still weak tone, you murmured back, "Hap...py...Birth...day."

I let out a chuckle before I moved further to you. "I have something for you..."

You refused to open your eyes, sounding an angry groan due to my continuous disturbance.

I noticed you twitched after feeling something cold in your fourth finger. Your eyes slowly open and was dazzled by the piece of silver.

Your mouth parted and angled at me. I greeted you with my heartfelt smile and popped the question for our forever to emit. "Rukawa Kaede, will you make a hundred more first times with me?"

I see you smirked before you flipped yourself to sat up, letting the blanket fall freely to your stomach.

You lifted your face and send me your genuine smile. And gave me your words, bestowing me your entire life. "How about a million more?"
